It was built with exquisite details, hardwood floors and beautiful built-ins, and is complete with both period fixtures and modern updates. A joy to cook in, the kitchen offers stainless appliances, including new refrigerator and dishwasher, stone counters and abundant natural light, while the tastefully updated baths have both a sense of history and contemporary practicality. Views of Echo Mountain and the San Gabriels are captured from the stained-glass window in the living room, the front porch and bedroom, while the rear balcony opens to a dramatic panorama spanning Pasadena, DTLA, the harbors and the Pacific Ocean. The private garden setting is anchored by a magnificent deodar cedar, mature citrus and cereus cacti, tall hedges and a spacious deck surrounded by lush plantings — an outdoor retreat of rare beauty. Here is an eminently livable and romantic home with that hard-to-define sense of Old California, and a very rare opportunity to lease a property with this level of finish and style. Offered partially furnished or unfurnished. Residence has been remediated and tested, and insulation replaced. Weekly trash service, bi-weekly gardening and a $75 monthly water credit are included.
